A Journey from Dubai to AlUla & Shebara
Golden Sands to Sapphire Seas: A Bespoke Journey from Dubai to AlUla & Shebara with Jetsetter Trips
Where desert grandeur meets oceanic serenity — this is your invitation to discover the heart of Saudi Arabia and the untouched beauty of the Red Sea in the most luxurious way possible.
Jetsetter Trips is proud to present a curated, all-encompassing itinerary that begins in Dubai and takes you across time, terrain, and treasure: from the ancient desert landscapes of AlUla, home to Saudi Arabia’s most captivating heritage sites, to the private marine paradise of Shebara, where overwater villas float above coral gardens in the Red Sea.
This journey is not for the ordinary traveler — it’s for the Jetsetter.
✧ Chapter One: AlUla – Arabia’s Ancient Oasis in Style
Aboard your private jet or upgraded business-class flight, you depart Dubai for AlUla, a destination once hidden from the world but now emerging as one of the most elite cultural and natural gems on the planet.
Upon landing at AlUla’s VIP terminal, you’re personally welcomed and whisked away in a luxury 4x4 to your chosen sanctuary: the ethereal Habitas AlUla or the sublime Banyan Tree AlUla.
Where You’ll Stay
Habitas AlUla
Eco-conscious and soulfully designed, Habitas blends seamlessly into its canyon surroundings. Each villa features panoramic views, sustainable interiors, and desert-facing decks where sunrise meditation and stargazing await. The property offers a thriving wellness program, artistic installations, and culinary surprises under the stars.
Banyan Tree AlUla
For travelers who crave indulgent seclusion, Banyan Tree’s tented villas offer private infinity pools, butler service, and an atmosphere that marries Bedouin elegance with five-star comfort. Think handcrafted copper tubs, Arabian incense rituals, and unspoiled mountain views. Your villa is a private retreat of silence and style.
What You’ll Do: Iconic Experiences
Jetsetter Trips has handpicked the most remarkable experiences in AlUla, all delivered with absolute privacy, personalized service, and cultural depth:
1. Hot Air Balloon Flight at Sunrise
Drift high above AlUla’s sandstone cliffs and date-palm oases. As the desert below awakens in hues of pink and gold, enjoy a champagne toast aloft. A sunrise you’ll never forget.
2. Helicopter Tour of AlUla’s Wonders
Fly over UNESCO-listed Hegra, the ancient Nabataean necropolis carved into rock. Your private pilot also glides you past Elephant Rock, Jabal Ikmah’s ancient inscriptions, and the dazzling Maraya Concert Hall, the world’s largest mirrored building.
3. Private Arabian Horse Ride Through Ashar Valley
Saddle up for an intimate ride through AlUla’s copper-colored valleys with a professional equestrian guide. The silence of the desert and the rhythm of hooves create a cinematic moment few get to live.
4. VIP Archaeological Tour of Hegra & Dadan
Explore tombs, ancient ruins, and 1st-century marvels with your own cultural guide. Learn the secrets of AlUla’s former civilizations in a way no standard tour can offer.
What You’ll Eat: Desert Dining at Its Finest
AlUla is redefining desert cuisine — think tradition with a five-star twist. Jetsetter Trips arranges exclusive dining experiences for every moment:
Saffron-infused fine dining under the stars: A private table in the desert, with curated wine pairings and live oud music.
Dinner at Tama by Habitas: A blend of Middle Eastern and international cuisine using locally grown ingredients. Try the spiced lamb shoulder or roasted eggplant with tahini espuma.
Lunch in a Hidden Oasis: Picnic in a palm grove, complete with woven rugs, Moroccan lanterns, and mezze platters.
Chef’s Table at Banyan Tree: Thai-Arabian fusion prepared just for you by a private chef, served poolside with chilled Dom Pérignon.
✧ Chapter Two: The Red Sea Escape — Shebara Island
As your stay in AlUla draws to a close, your journey transitions from sands to sea. You board your private jet, and within a short time, you’re descending toward the Red Sea coastline. A sleek luxury boat awaits to transfer you to Shebara Island Resort, part of Saudi Arabia’s futuristic Red Sea Project.
This is marine exclusivity redefined — where untouched coral reefs meet ultra-modern sustainable design.
Where You’ll Stay: Overwater Villas in Paradise
Your private overwater dome villa is nothing short of architectural magic. Curved and organic in form, they float gently above a coral reef, featuring:
Glass-bottom floors to observe sea life below
Private terraces with plunge pools and loungers
In-villa dining with a dedicated butler
Sustainable luxury amenities with zero plastic and solar power integration
What You’ll Do in Shebara
Private snorkeling and diving excursions led by expert marine biologists
A Scenic Seaplane Adventure in the Heart of the Red Sea
Sunset sailing on a catamaran with champagne and canapés
Spa treatments infused with sea botanicals, delivered on your private deck
Eco-conscious marine safaris to see dolphins, turtles, and reef fish
Nighttime star bathing with a telescope and curated stargazing sessio
What You’ll Eat: Ocean-to-Table Indulgence
Shebara’s culinary program is as refined as its setting. Highlights include:
Fresh seafood caught that day, grilled to perfection by your private chef
Arabian-Japanese fusion — think sashimi with za’atar and black garlic soy
Floating breakfast trays in your villa’s plunge pool
Beach barbecues under the stars, curated by your butler with local wines
